Introduction
Climate change has profound effects on ecosystems around the globe. From melting ice caps to more frequent and intense natural disasters, the impact on Earth’s biodiversity is significant. Let's explore these effects and understand how they shape our environment.
Effects on Ecosystems
- Rising Temperatures: Increased global temperatures affect wildlife habitats and change weather patterns.
- Melting Ice Caps: As polar ice melts, sea levels rise, threatening coastal ecosystems and communities.
- Ocean Acidification: Increased CO2 absorption lowers ocean pH, affecting marine life health.
- Extreme Weather Events: More frequent storms and droughts disrupt life for plants, animals, and humans.
Impact on Biodiversity
Species that cannot adapt to changing climates are at risk of extinction. As conditions shift, some species migrate while others face dwindling habitats.
